The ultimate objective of this research is to develop a draft model for educational administrators in Pakistan. To achieve this objective a mixed methods research design was used and the study was completed in different phases. In the first phase, literature search was carried out by using standard sources and tools for the better understanding of theoretical and technical aspects of the study. Major areas covered in the literature review include: a) a discussion of the information overload in this information age and its burden on information searcher and user. Furthermore, how an Information System (IS) can help the information searcher/user. The discussion goes forward and discusses the case of educational administrators as information searchers and users; b) the design considerations of an educational information system along with available examples of information systems of the world are part of the review. A review of related studies is also given; c) the information needs, seeking behavior and work tasks etc of educational administrators are also presented; and d) the last section presents an overview of Pakistani perspective i.e., educational administration, information system and networks in education, etc. A review of related studies is also presented in this section. This thorough literature search and review led to the second phase of the study i.e. the survey instruments development. In this phase the quantitative data were collected with the help of survey instruments. For finding the information needs and seeking behavior through questionnaire survey, a selected group of experts from the public sector institutes, who, in their discharge of day to day administrative work, have to depend upon the information system in education, were identified with the help of reviewed literature and discussion with experts. Thus the educational administrators i.e., Registrars/Deans/Heads of Departments in universities and principals of schools and colleges (public sector) were identified as the target population and were selected through multistage cluster sampling. The respondents were from the Punjab province and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). In total, 297 (99%) responses were received and analyzed quantitatively. Interviews of three different categories of experts (i.e., educational administrators, Information and library professionals, and Information system experts) were also conducted for the in- depth understanding of respondents’ point of view and phenomena under study. The purposively selected sample of interviewees was working in well known institutes (public and private sectors) of Punjab province and ICT and had better understanding of the area under study. Fifty five interview responses were qualitatively analyzed. In the third phase, an initial draft of a centralized information system entitled ‘Pakistan National Information System for Educational Administrators-PAK-NISEA’ accessible through integrated web-based environment was proposed on the basis of findings of the study. The initial draft was sent to the purposively selected experts of Library & Information Science, Information System and Education within the country and abroad. In the final phase, the initial draft model was revised and finalized for presentation in the light of responses by 28 experts. The development of the information system is proposed in phases by using the Spiral Model. Services and access mechanism are tried to be made more user-centered with the help of Knowledge Environment Model. Major components of the model include: primary users; geographic acquisition and distribution coverage and type of information acquired; media classification; information acquisition; information selection; information processing; information storage; products and services; and management structure and funding.

چوہدری بوڑا دی آل اولاد

أثر السياق في الجمع بين الروايات الحديثية للموضوع الواحد

The Sunnah is a revelation from Allaah, and the Holy Prophet ( peace be upon Him ) addressed through it, His companions transferred it to narrators. The Hadith is narrated through many ways, so there is a difference between the words of the HadIth narrated by different narrators. It can not be construed to prove judgment. To understand meanings of different narrations of  same Hadith, the correct way is to collect  of these narrations, study the words of each narration, contemplation in all ways of speech and the difference of words, weighting among them, and then build a judgment on the most likely narrations through contextual study. This research reveals how Context plays an important role in reaching to correct meaning of the issue, the balance between words, the weightiness of the issue, and the removal of Suspicions.

The Islamia College Peshawar Building: An Analysis of Their Architectural and Decorative Features

Peshawar city is one of the oldest cities of the subcontinent, previously known as the queen city of South Asia possessing marvelous past with rich history and enthralling cultural traditions. Allah has gifted the region with beautiful lakes, rivers forest and mountains giving way to other areas through different passes. Among them the famous Khyber Pass has played a vital role as a gateway to the subcontinent for invading armies and trading caravans between Central Asia and South Asia since long time. Sub-Continent was invaded by several European invaders which resulted in colonization. This colonization of the Sub-Continent basically influenced the cultural life of the native people in all respect and had many positive and negative impacts on the Sub-Continent. Modern technology, communication systems and better living standards were introduced, but it also led to dependency on Britain and supremacy of the rulers. Along with other influences it affected the architectural style throughout the Sub-Continent. The British rulers added numerous types of buildings like bridges, post office, churches, memorials, hospital, residential and official buildings and educational institutions. Same types of structures were also erected in Peshawar. Islamia College is one of the oldest educational institutions located in the western part of Peshawar founded by Nawab Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum and Sir George Roos-Keppel in October 1913. The Architectural manner of the building is a blend of Islamic Mughal style combined with typical Curzonean touches. The building with its magnetic structure, embedded by domes, kiosks topped with cupolas and crowing pinnacles and finials, creates a wondering eyes catching site. Darul-Ulum-i-Islamia “Islamia College” now Islamia College University does not merely symbolize a towering building but is a repository of the Muslim’s struggle for independence especially in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, against the prolonged foreign dominance. The layout was designed in symmetrical order, which reflects the Muslim architecture merged with some Gothic features. The institution was provided with all the facilities such as a mosque, library, administration center, hostels, residences, quarters for staff, play grounds and a market as well. The main building has a hall (known as Roos Keppel Hall), fronted on south by a porch having a rectangular clock tower topped by a dome. The parapet of the hall lying between the domes compositions is marked with molded band and balustrade in the form of ring shape marlins. The main building of Islamia College is heavily decorated with different styles of eaves and brackets. The bricked walls of the building give strong impression of solidness and strength. Rectangular and octagonal shaped columns, pointed, cusped and round shaped arches are main focal component of Islamia College architecture. Well-ventilated class rooms and administrative offices are provided with pointed and ellipse shape doors, windows and ventilators. Simple bricks and steel beams ceilings are used in buildings. The Islamia College buildings have well planned water shoot system. The Islamia College buildings are provided with different types of grill in metal and terracotta. Geometrical and floral design motifs are used in Islamia College buildings. During the last century the existence Islamia College has served the people and has gifted enormous benefits to the general mass regarding education. The social benefits that the people will derive from the existence of this prestigious educational institute cannot be evaluated in figures. It may be rationally and vigorously concluded that this center of educational hub will continue to serve the community and is bound to remain a centre of attraction as a proud and rewarding monument of history, a landmark in the urban scale for many more years to come. Architecture of Islamia College represents uninterrupted living tradition existing in architecture of sub continent during the period of British raj connecting present and the past. More emphasis is given to the volume and symmetry with strong attention to intricate details. It represent a blend of Mughal and Gothic architecture. This made the Islamia College buildings more articulate, graceful and temporal. The architectural design became landmark in the history of Peshawar. Islamia College Peshawar is important as it has gone through a long historical period of 100 years and has now recently been declared as national heritage of Pakistan. Due to the requirements and changing academic environment, most parts of the old buildings are subject to frequent maintenance and renovation that has affected the originality and beauty of the structure. The research presents various aspects of the buildings in relation to architecture. It will open new vistas for further research on the other parts of the building.
